Feather River College’s rodeo program is preparing for its third annual Rough Stock Rodeo Clinic, to be held at FRC’s rodeo arena April 21 – 22. This is the second year FRC will open the clinic to the public, allowing anyone interested in rodeo to learn all about it up close and personal.

The clinic will focus on the rough-stock portion of rodeos: namely bareback and saddle bronc riding and bull riding. One of the advantages of the clinic is the more-than-qualified instruction participants will receive. More than 15 qualifiers from the National Finals Rodeo will be present to instruct and ensure a safe area.

These experienced cowboys will give instruction on every detail involved with bull and bronc riding, from groundwork to out of the bucking chute and everything in between. The clinic will give participants a good sense of what to expect should they pursue rodeo.

The clinic is free for anyone willing to participate. Those interested should contact Jesse Segura at 283-0202, ext. 306, or jsegura@frc.edu.
